Drop down list - value focus

Copper Contributor

Hi!

 

I am trying to connect my drop down list per value with another cell.

The dropdown has been created with a yes or no list. 

What I am trying to do is when I select yes in cell A1 that I can connect that yes to a certain value (e.g. 10 euros) and no to another value (5 euros) and these values are then shown in cell A2 

 

I have no clue how to work this out. Is there anyone able to explain this to my. 

Any help would be great!

Without more information, sound like you want to use a combination of:
Data Validation (list) and
VLOOKUP or MATCH, and INDEX functions

I hope that helps.

Here is a very simplified form

Two options. 

 

Straightforward if only referencing yes response. If yes then plug in €10 otherwise by default the formula will plug in €5.

 

The VLOOKUP is more scalable. Whatever you decide, be cognizant of absolute ($G$2:$H$3) versus relative cell references. I like using named ranges (e.g. name F2:G3 as ‘YesNo_List’). Named Ranges function as absolute cell references and can make formulas easier to follow.
